E W Van Heuven wrote a paper on the tuning of bells (74-96 Acoustical Mea=
surements on Church Bells and Carillons, DeGebroeders van Cleef, The Hague,=
Netherlands, 1949 and reprinted in T D Rossing's Acoustics of Bells ISBN 0=
-442-27817-9. In his paper he graphs the results on the principal five part=
ials of internal and external tuning. Essentially the tuning results are di=
fferent for tuning on the outside when compared to the inside.
However the most obvious reason for not tuning the outside is cosmetice, =
i.e. the loss of inscriptions, moulding wires etc. However it is an option =
open to bell tuners!
